Flexibility (anatomy) For other uses of the term, see flexibility (disambiguation). Flexibility or limberness refers to the absolute range of movement in a joint or series of joints, and length in muscles that cross the joints to induce a bending movement or motion. Flexibility varies between individuals, particularly in terms of differences in muscle length of multi-joint muscles.
This is faster than 331 meters per second, which is the speed of sound in air at freezing temperatures. The formula to find the speed of sound in air is as follows: v = 331m/s + 0.6m/s/C * T. v is the speed of sound and T is the temperature of the air.One thing to keep in mind is that this formula finds the average speed of sound for any given temperature.The speed of sound is also affected by other factors such as humidity and air pressure. = 331m/s + 0.6m/s/C * T. v is the speed of sound and T is the temperature of the air.

The matter that transports the sound is called the medium. The speed of sound is how fast the wave or vibrations pass through the medium or matter. The type of matter has a large impact on the speed at which the sound will travel. For example, sound travels faster in water than air. Sound travels even faster in steel. In dry air, sound travels at 343 meters per second (768 mph). At this rate sound will travel one mile in around five seconds. Sound travels 4 times faster in water (1,482 meters per second) and around 13 times faster through steel (4,512 meters per second).
